Chinook Hops

Characteristics

Chinook hops were developed in the early 1980s in Washington state by the USDA as a variant of the Goldings Hop.
Typically used for bittering (12 to 14% AAU), Chinook imparts a rich, pronounced aroma with a citrus component. If employed later in the
boil, Chinook imparts a herbal, almost smoky aroma.
